ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207.

Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 LIFE BEGINS AT 85 After 58 years as a football coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg at '85 is off to Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania to assist his son, Amos, Jr., whip a gridiron squad into shape. There isn't even an outside chance that Susquehanna will field a team of Rose Bowl caliber. Maybe, despite the Stagg pigskin genius, the little college will still lose every game. Stagg's well-wishers hope that doesn't happen of course. But more important than winning a football game, or a tennis match, or acquiring wealth, is "the way the game is played"; that is the Stagg philosophy. The old coach injects into his young charges not only the will to win but sound moral virtues they can carry off the football field with them. He has made a contribution to successor will be a new King of Spain. Pen and ink were all he needed to make up his people's mind. The American people, through their State Legislature, are in the process of deciding whether to limit Presidential tenure to two terms by Constitutional amendment. The decision will not be made overnight. In fact, it may be several years before the necessary affirmative action by 36, or three-fourths of the States, is forthcoming. But the idea that no man is indispensable has been crystallizing in the public mind since the days of the New Deal. From the time of Washington, the two-term limitation had the authority of unwritten law. A Nation surrounded by a world at war discarded it. Now the realization is growing that a written law is desirable to guarantee democratic IN THE DAY APRIL 24, 1872 The new Masonic hall is to be built on the easterly side of Angeles street 248 feet south Center street.

Stagg's well-wishers hope that doesn't happen of course. But more important than winning a football game, or a tennis match, or acquiring wealth, is "the way the game is played"; that is the Stagg philosophy. The old coach injects into his young charges not only the will to win but sound moral virtues they can carry off the football field with them. He has made a contribution to better lives which, while it cannot be calculated like a football score, stands as his greatest achievement in a long and illustrious career. More power and a long life to Stagg! May his son, the boss coach, carry on with him in the same tradition—win, lose or draw. PRESIDENTIAL LIMITATION Democratic processes are sometimes criticized as slow and cumbersome—certainly a minor disability when the end product embraces the expressed will of a majority of the people. Dictators have it easier, of course—as witness Franco's decision that his Spare Water and SPare Roots (Continued from Page 1) valencia groves. It developed the application of iron to soil or to trees in the form of spray does no observable good and that about all one can do is to go light on irrigation and thus give the soil acid an opportunity to dissolve the iron already in the soil in abundance. Wahlberg said that on the thin soils that predominate in the Yorba Linda lemon district the Eureka lemon was good for only about 35 years and that many Yorba Linda orchards are approaching that age. To growers considering intersetting or replanting there was a discussion by Puffer of rootstocks best suited to the district. The most productive and longest-lived trees, are grown on sweet roots but this stock has the serious defect of being more subject to gummosis than any other stock. The stock most resistant to gummosis is sourroot but it is the poorest producer and the shortest lived. As a good compromise between the advantages and the disadvantages of the two rootstocks Puffer suggested Sampson tangelo. Wahlberg suggested many Yorba Linda groves have been seriously damaged by years of over-irrigation. Baker Speaks For Higher Pay (Continued from Page 1) solve to promote the following objectives: "1.

From the time of Washington, the two-term limitation had the authority of unwritten law. A Nation surrounded by a world at war discarded it. Now the realization is growing that a written law is desirable to guarantee democratic rotation of the Presidential office. Yes, democracy may sometimes be unwieldy, but when the votes are finally counted, they represent the voice of the people. As Americans, we wouldn't have it any other way."

The Challenge restaurant is almost ready for business and will be opened to the public soon. Through the politeness of Mr. Peter Richards, we have been shown the various furnishings of the kitchen and other departments. The kitchen is a model of neatness. A large range fitted compactly into the brick work, and the dishes for the dining room make a stock, seemingly large enough for a crockery store. We learn that Mr. Bancroft has contracted with Messrs. Brown and Dunmock for the building of a residence on land lately purchased by him opposite W. J. Smith's dwelling about 3 miles from town. Three large teams from the San Diego ranch of I. Lankershim passed through Sunday going to the San Joaquin country. They have been dried out below and are seeking greener fields above.

Efficient Eighties were: Al Hughes, Joe Fitzgerald, Ray Van Wagoner, Larry Jones, L. M. Shirk, H. G. Miller, Joe Scholz, Cliff Batchelor, F. H. Leonard, Carl Lemcke, Bill Matthews, E. C. Kendrick, Ewald Lemke, R. Conklin, 'Abe' Cone, Dick Gay, Wally Riutcel, Art Schwartung. The Select Seventies were really select; only Houston Kier was in that rarified atmosphere. His low gross of 74 entitled him not only to this exalted spot but also to the prize previously mentioned. Many members could not play in the tournament because of the other duties they had to perform to make the outing the success it was. They are all to be commended for their splendid handling of the golf tournament and dinner. Secretary Dick Gay deserves special mention for it is largely due to his tremendous individual effort that the Association has 93 paid up members. It is something of a record for a town, the size of Anaheim to turn out a group of 98 men all interested in golf and more or less on speaking terms. Dick Gay is in large measure responsible and the members have expressed their appreciation. The Anaheim Gazette was made the official medium of propaganda dissemination. The membership want all to know that their athletic fitness is due primarily to clean living and the great game of golf. That is a slight line of propaganda as all who take the trouble to look for themselves are able to see the truth, to a greater or less degree, of this assertion. The next meeting and tournament will be announced well. Settling Basin To Remove Slip From AUW Ca The Anaheim Union Water company this week began operation of an 18,000 yard east on its canal in the Yorba district to create a 40-acre settling basin for water by its Cajon canal.

The hope of the water management is that tilling basin will dispose of problem. Water will be in the settling basin approximately 15 hours. It is believed the sand and silt should tled from the water in that area and that comparatively water will be carried in below that point. The settling basin at its west point will be 36 feet off the plan is to keep water basin at the level of the canal so that water would leave the canal by action.

He informs us the cabbage crop is large and of uniform high quality and that prices are out of sight. Judge Alex Wright and wife were over from Fullerton yesterday on a short visit, the judge on legal business and Mrs. Wright seeking the dentist. Fred Maurer having retired from the restaurant business at the West End, has become an honest farmer and puts in his time hoeing pumpkins. Fred comes down town once in a while, and sometimes drops in to see us. A. Arnold, of the Anaheim cigar factory, announces a new cigar, the "X Ray" which smokers pronounce the best 5 cent cigar in town. Mr. Arnold's cigars contain the best tobacco, are nicely made and are superior to many outside brands sold here. Smokers should patronize home industry, especially when it is superior to other brands. The Anaheim Gazette was made the official medium of propaganda dissemination.

Settling Basin To Remove Silt From AUW Canal The Anaheim Union Water company this week began construction of an 18,000 yard earth fill on its canal in the Yorba Linda district to create a 40 acre-foot settling basin for water carried by its Cajon canal. The canal carries water by gravity flow from the Santa Ana river, and when the river has been in flood, enough silt is carried in the water to create a serious problem in irrigation pipelines. The hope of the water company management is that the settling basin will dispose of this problem. Water will be retained in the settling basin approximately 15 hours. It is believed most of the sand and silt should be settled from the water in that period and that comparatively clear water will be carried in the canal below that point. The settling basin at its deepest point will be 36 feet deep but the plan is to keep water in the basin at the level of the water in the canal so that water will enter and leave the canal by gravity action. The company is making the fill with its own employes. The basin is to be located on six acres purchased a few months ago on Buena Vista avenue near the Yorba reservoir.
